The high priests in Vatican know that whatever they inherited from the past are wrong. Unfortunately, they cannot tell the people that fact because it will affect them as the authority for Catholicism.

How could Catholism be the true teachings of Jesus when it is by itself against the natural creation of this world. Why should Vatican worried about low birth rate in countries like Germany, France and Spain when they themself do not allow their priests to get married. Does God wants priest to be celibate? What are the proof that God ordered priests to be celibate? If celibate is a true Catholic teachings, why did God ordered Prophet Noah to bring a couple (male & female) of each animal species onto his Boat?

I'm talking of causes of death rather than situations, so please don't say something like: "to die without faith in god"

im from the north yeah but i live down south, an i wanna know why southerners think they are just so dangerous? im not talking about the average joe in the street, im talking about the matching tracksuit, t shirt with silly scratchy writing on the shoulders and dirty nike tn hat at a funny angle. and why can they not manage a ten mintute converstation without throwing in how many fights they have had and just how bad the estate where they are from is, having lived in both the north south and midlands i can say with no qualms that the south is by far the nicest, i.e i visited an estate in ashford which is "notorious" according to the kent messenger, also dartmouth n chatham are supposedly hard too, i didnt even realise that i was standing on a council estate till someone said, i thought it was quite a nice little street in quite a nice little town but if the words of the local lads is to be believed then chatham was more akin to compton than canterbury, can anyone relate to my story?

Why would God make a human being, let's say for example, "Sean". "Sean" was designed with an intelligence and personality where he doesn't believe anything unless it can be proved. He doesn't want to be decieved. God has not given any evidence to satisfy "Sean". "Sean" doesn't believe. "Sean" is willing to look at all evidence presented. So far in life its been "Bible" or "baby's faces". But other religions, for example, Islam, suggest "Sean" should have faith in Allah because of Qur'an and Babies faces.

"Sean" chooses not to believe because there is not definitive evidence in God or Allah. There is a book called Illiad and "Sean" does not believe in Zeus.

Why would God take "Sean's" soul and throw it into a lake of fire. Isn't that a bit illogical?

I am a natural born black american. I've been to africa, and from what I see, most black americans appear to have characteristics and features that integrate other racial groups compared to afrikaans. When you claim Africa-American are you not doing so at the expense of your other ethnic roots?

I see a lot of these new churches(if you can call them that) popping up where its dress however you want, pizza in the back, get a latte before services, 'God is so Cool' sermons, leave the bible at home and bring Soduku. Do you think this is a good thing? What kind of Christians could these churches produce.? Wll they be able to share Gods word with others if they have no idea what it is? Is this the future of all Christian churches?

The people who need to apoloyise is the Muslims, for thier terror on the world. You don't see Catholics burning buildings, flying planes into buildings or blowing car bombs up.

Islam is blowing bombs ?

Iraqi Christians in 3 days if Pope Benedict XVI doesn't apologize publicly? (As announced in Mosques.)

The Pope can't take back something He said that was true. He can only apologize for offending them (Muslims).

What do you think the Pope can do?

Do you think Islam is the Beast?


Also, I request prayers for the Pope & Iraqi Christians.

Many people have followed what atheists have blindly pointed at, the theory of probability. Can any of you show that they are wrong? Or are you caught up in their viral fever as well?

I read it. I listened to it. I disected it. I don't understand the problem. He NEVER said that he agreed with it, in fact he said that the words were someone elses, and his whole point was to say that violence should not have a place in religion and that god does not love violence. I guess I just don't understand. Perhaps he should have bent over backwards, but, he said specifically that he was quoting someone else, and gave the reasons why. People then took snippents out of what he said, soundbites, and made it sound like HE was saying those things about islam.
Before you judge me as some kind of Christian apologist, I will tell you that I am an athiest, and I disagree with MOST of what they have to say. I just think on this particular issue, using a quote from someone else in a speech does NOT make the words your own. We can debate all day long about what WE as individuals think of islam, but I DOUVR very seriously that the POPE had inteded to insite the muslim people.

Benedict apparently worries that secular Western culture does this. So presumably if you like religion you should agree. I think "mockery" is a bit strong, but isn't criticism of religion a moral duty? If we secular atheists should not criticize religion then shouldn't you religious people also not criticize us?
